"What are you talking about?" The old man's face suddenly changed, and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes. Then he seemed to think of something and said in a deep voice, "Did Elisa tell you?"

"No, she came to me just hoping that I could testify for her and prove that she had nothing to do with Torres' change of mind, but when I asked her who was the mastermind, she refused to say, well... But it doesn't matter, refusing to say this behavior itself is an answer." Li Yu said.

"I asked myself, who in the castle is worthy of her protection, and who's words she has to listen to even if she doesn't want to, and then it's easy to think of you.

"You are the oldest person still alive in the Arias family. The other young people in the family are your descendants. Ilia and Blanco are your great-granddaughter and great-grandson. Ruth, Elisa, and Torres are also your direct blood relatives. You don't talk much in the family on weekdays, so it's easy to be ignored.

"But when you decide to speak, everyone needs to listen respectfully and respect your ideas, and even obey you unconditionally. When you said Ilea was an Arias in the Marquis's Mansion, both Vanessa and Dias immediately dared not continue to make a fuss about this matter.

"I should have thought of it earlier. Only you have the ability to determine the result one step ahead before the election. You asked Antonio to lie to Ilea and wrote to your grandson in the capital, forcing him to change Blanco at the last minute.

"Torres has a close relationship with Elisa, but he can't disobey your orders. You even asked everyone to act out a play together and keep Ilea in the dark."

Li Yu's answer was orderly, and it also made Ona feel cold.

Back in the Marquis's Mansion, she had witnessed Li Yu fighting against many people alone and finally helping Ilea complete an almost impossible comeback. At that time, she was quite afraid of this foreigner who destroyed her plan.

But she was just a bystander at that time, but now she finally had the chance to personally experience the horror of this guy.

Just through the embarrassing attitude of Elisa when she came to the door, she was able to follow the clues and push her out as the mastermind behind the scenes. Is this guy really just a commoner as he said?

Ona is not unfamiliar with those untouchables. In order to fill their stomachs, they get up early and work in the fields every day. How could they cultivate such keen observation and meticulous thinking?

With their simple interpersonal relationships on weekdays, they can't deal with the intrigues and deceptions among the nobles.

And the foreigner in black clothes in front of her gave her the feeling that she had lived in a similar complex environment for a long time, and she had long been accustomed to all this, so she could behave so easily.

At this moment, Ona didn't know why she thought of Antonio that day again.

When his voice suddenly echoed over the Marquis's mansion, he was so desperate and terrified. Now it was Ona's turn to experience this feeling.

Li Yu's voice did not stop, "In fact, with your influence in the family, you could have directly expressed your support for Blanco's promotion. Even if Ilia was dissatisfied, she would have no way to deal with it. However, you chose to go far away and went around in such a big circle, and finally lost the candidate you really liked. It's really...

"I don't know what to say. I would definitely not do this, so I can only roughly guess what you were thinking at the time. You raised Ilia since she was a child. You know that your great-granddaughter is very narrow-minded and has always been clear about gratitude and resentment.

"If you and others directly stand up to support Blanco, she will probably resent you for this, so you create the illusion that everyone is actually more willing to stand with her, so that even if Blanco becomes the lord in the end, Ilia will not have any complaints about the family.

"So you can also send her back to the Silver Moon Church as planned. If she can grow into the backbone of the church in the future, then when the Arias family needs the help of the Silver Moon Church, Ilia will surely be willing to pay for the family. "

"You don't understand anything!" After experiencing the initial shock, the old man finally came back to his senses and said, "Ilia's character is not suitable for being a lord, especially at this time."

"At this time?"

"The Arias family is facing an unprecedented crisis. We need a mature leader to find allies for us and lead us through this crisis."

"Let's not talk about whether Ilia is suitable to be a lord. Her brother Blanco is not much better than her. "Li Yu said.

"I'm not talking about Blanco, but his mother Vanessa. No matter how you look at her, you have to admit that she is a very capable woman, and she has the courage and excellent communication skills that are not inferior to men. "

Since both parties have spoken out, Ona simply stopped hiding it. "I raised Ilea by myself, and of course I love that child very much. If it were normal, I wouldn't mind giving her a chance to let her compete fairly with Blanco, but not now. As a member of the Arias family, the interests of the family should always be placed above personal likes and dislikes. "

"Why not now?" Li Yu asked.

The old man did not answer again, but asked, "Since you knew that it was me who asked Torres to switch to Blanco, why didn't you tell Ilea?"

"Well, because of the series of methods you and Vanessa used, you successfully aroused Ilea's distrust of her family members, which is not conducive to her rule in the Green Fields. She is also a very emotional person. If I tell her about this, she may completely break with her relatives in anger."

"Isn't this just right? It's convenient for you to control her further."

"I didn't control her. Ilea encountered difficulties, and you, as her relatives, were unwilling to help. She had no other choice but to come to me... So instead of accusing me of being too controlling, it's better to think about how to share some of the pressure for her, instead of causing trouble for her and pushing her to me.

"Whether you are willing to admit it or not, Ilea is now the master of this land. Since you keep saying that you want to put your family first, it's about time you move your butt back from Vanessa and Blanco. "Li Yu reminded.

"…………"

Oona fell into silence again. After a while, her attitude finally softened. She was no longer as aggressive as before and looked like an ordinary old woman.

She clarified, "I haven't contacted Vanessa since she ran away. The note has nothing to do with me. Is the child entrusting you to investigate this matter now? If so, I also hope that you can find the person who put the note as soon as possible. "

After she finished speaking, she shook her body and took the initiative to make way for Li Yu.
